Ethical Analysis of so-Called Attack Studies in the Context of Raising Security Awareness in Public Spaces

EasyChair Preprint 11721

Abstract

Attack studies are carried out to determine which measures are particularly effective in defending against attacks in the area of security. In contrast to an actual attack, this is only simulated and no damage is caused. In order to obtain data that is as realistic as possible, subjects often do not know the background. In order to obtain data from as natural an environment as possible and to get as close as possible to an actual attack, such studies can take place directly in public spaces. In an example scenario, for example, a QR code could be displayed at bus stops and, when scanned, redirects to a simulated phishing website. This would make it possible to investigate whether people would be vulnerable to such an attack without security awareness training. However, this raises numerous questions about whether and under what circumstances such a study can be justified from an ethical perspective. During this seminar, relevant arguments will be identified and weighed.

Keyphrases: Angriffsstudien im öffentlichen Raum, Ethische Analyse, security awareness
